Nahid on Broadview, 800 Broadview Ave: A New Six-Storey Boutique Condo

Nahid on Broadview is the newest condo I can show buyers at Broadview and Danforth, and one of the few with family-sized suites on this stretch. It is a six-storey boutique building with only about 30 homes, retail at street level, and the Danforth at the corner. Being this new is its appeal and its main risk at once, so the checks are different from an older building. I’m Jatin Dua, RE/MAX Quantum Realty.

A long road to a short building

This is a small building with a long history. The proposal dates back to late 2014, a site plan application followed in 2019, and the three older buildings on the site were cleared after that. The corporation was finally registered in November 2025, roughly 11 years after the first application.

Options Development names its projects Nahid, which its site says is the Persian name for Venus. The planning-era coverage gave the address as 796 Broadview, and listings now use 800 Broadview, so search both if you are looking at older records.

A building this new is still in its first governance cycle. Once the developer no longer owns most of the suites, owners hold a turnover meeting and elect their own board, which then takes over the contracts the developer signed, including property management. I could not confirm who manages the building today, so ask, and ask whether the turnover has happened yet.

The suite count also varies by source. The planning application described 30 suites, as does the developer’s marketing; condos.ca shows 33. Ask for the registered declaration to see the actual number of units, which determines your share of the common expenses.

Designed to match the street

The massing follows the Broadview Avenue Planning Study, which Council adopted in 2016 to guide mid-rise building on this stretch. In practice that means a mid-block building of six storeys, with brick up to the fourth floor to line up with its two- and three-storey neighbours, and precast and lighter materials above. The marketing leans on European inspiration; on the street, it reads as a tidy brick mid-rise.

At grade there is about 764 square metres of retail facing Broadview. Retail below a small residential building helps share costs, but it also means deliveries and tenant changes affect daily life. Ask what the retail units are used for and whether any restrictions apply, such as on restaurants and venting.

Suites that are bigger than the Danforth norm

The 2019 application set out 17 one-bedroom suites averaging about 71 square metres (roughly 760 sq ft), 11 two-bedrooms averaging about 85 square metres (roughly 915 sq ft) and two three-bedrooms of about 93 square metres (roughly 1,000 sq ft). The marketing quotes suites up to about 1,460 sq ft, which suggests the largest plans changed during the sale. Either way, these are larger than the typical new one-bedroom in a tower.

The developer advertised SmartONE smart-home technology, controlled from your phone. Condos.ca lists a parking garage, a rooftop deck, an outdoor patio, a dining room and storage. It also lists coin and on-site laundry, which is unusual for a new building where in-suite laundry is standard, so confirm what each suite has.

I could not find published ceiling heights or the parking and locker count. With about 30 suites and a garage, not every suite may have a space, so confirm it in the agreement or status certificate.

Broadview and Danforth, day to day

The building sits just north of Broadview and Danforth, on the edge of Playter Estates. At the corner you have the Danforth’s restaurants, grocers and cafes running east, and south along Broadview are Riverdale Park and the valley views that make this street popular. The automatic panel on this page covers subway access, schools and parks.

Most of the block around it is two and three storeys, and the planning study allows more mid-rise building along Broadview. Expect more construction on the avenue in the next decade. That tends to bring more shops and services, but also some years of noise and lane closures.

What Nahid on Broadview costs to own

Condos.ca shows an average of about $1,351 per sq ft. Treat that with caution: in a building of about 30 suites registered in late 2025, the average is likely based on a small number of first resales and assignments. That figure is well above the older condos and lofts nearby, as you would expect for a brand-new building.

At the time of writing there was one suite for sale and one for rent, too few to quote a range. Fee inclusions are not published, so ask what the fee covers for the specific suite. A new corporation’s first-year budget is set by the developer and often proves too low; increases in the first two or three years are common.

Early resales in a new building are often owners who bought years ago at pre-construction prices, so they can price below a developer’s final inventory and still make a profit. That makes the first year or two of resales a reasonable time to buy, if the suite and the paperwork are right.

For recent sale and lease results nearby, use my building sold report, and compare against other boutique buildings on Broadview rather than towers elsewhere in the city.

Amenities at Nahid on Broadview

For a building this small, a rooftop deck and a shared dining room are a good package: they are the kind of space you actually use, without the cost of a pool or a large gym. Ask how the dining room is booked and who maintains the rooftop, since those costs fall on only about 30 owners. A rooftop membrane and deck finish are also items to look for in the reserve fund study.
